Barcelona
Where Speed Meets Sunshine in Spain

Offers access to several designated areas largely in the Western section of the track. Many of these areas are elevated offering good views. Some of the very best atmosphere tends to be created from the fans in these areas.

Ideal for viewing the start of the race and the end of the main straight. Although the grandstand is behind the safety zone and is, therefore, a little further away from the track, on the other hand, you won’t be shielded by the safety fence at all, even if you are in the lower rows. The impression of the formulas rushing towards you is breathtaking! You’ll follow the cars all the way to Turn 3. They’ll even flash into your view for a moment as they  pass the winding track around Turn 5.

Located by the Europcar Corner, and with great views of the Stadium area, this is a fantastic stand to see cars coming through the slow, sweeping turn before accelerating directly towards stand C, then swerving towards the turns and chicane section. An exciting place for possible overtaking, as the Stadium offers a series of challenges for cars coming off the first DRS zone.

Visible action zones: Turns 13, 14

One of very few that is covered to offer protection from the elements. This Grandstand is in the prime location overlooking the grid, pits and start/finish line. This grandstand is covered.

Located at the end of the Pit Straight, Stand E offers an overall good view of the Main Straight and Seat Corner, down to Wurth Corner. At the end of the second DRS zone, this is the place to be to see possible overtaking action!

Visible action zones: Main Straight, Turn 1

This is undoubtedly one of the best grandstands for close-up views of overtaking into turn 1 as it stands, well positioned at the apex to the corner. Then follow the action around turn 2 and disappearing around turn 3.

Seats in the upper rows will have no issues seeing over the catch fencing after the point of turn in though the top of the fence does cover the racing line on the approach.

Whatever you see of the cars in the infield section from turn 5 to 7 will really be just a glimpse.

Stretching around turn 12, 24 block Grandstand G is a mammoth grandstand with some of the best views of the circuit.

Blocks 18 – 24 of the stand have an expansive view of the track from La Caixa to the pitlane entry and the final turn 16, providing ample opportunity to appreciate the racing over a number of varying types of corners and for a generous duration of time.  There is a lower likelihood of overtaking, but having such a panoramic view of so much of the circuit, few fans will be disappointed.

Grandstand J occupies land between the start/finish line and turn one. You will get to see some pit stops and the pit exit is just opposite seats in the right hand side of the stand.

Looking across to the infield section you see the cars exit turn 5, take on the sweeping turn 6 and disappear behind a grandstand.

Grandstand K is arguably the best option in this group, offering spectators an excellent balance of views—both of the infield section and the opening sequence of corners.As cars come off the main straight, you’ll catch them braking hard into Turn 1. While this corner is somewhat distant, it still provides a good vantage point to witness any overtaking action. From there, watch as the drivers accelerate and weave through Turns 2 and 3.

Where Grandstand K truly shines, however, is in its view of the infield. With no major obstructions, you get a clear line of sight from the exit of Turn 5 all the way to the approach of Turn 9.

Grandstand L is truly one of a kind, offering fans sweeping views of a significant portion of the Circuit de Catalunya. Nestled on the inside of the track, it’s uniquely positioned in the narrow space between the entry to Turn 3 and Turn 5.

From here, spectators enjoy an extended view up the main straight—almost all the way to the starting lights. The infield view is even more impressive, covering the entire stretch from Turn 4 through to the entry of Turn 7. And for those lucky enough to be seated in the back row, there’s an added bonus: a rear-facing view that captures most of Turn 3.

The covered Grandstand M is located on the outside of the Seat Hairpin corner entry. From the Repsol Corner the cars accelerate downhill on a short straight up to about 240km/h in 5th gear, before breaking down to 90km/h for the 2nd gear Seat Hairpin. This hairpin, will see rapid deceleration, and provides definite overtaking opportunities under hard braking. This grandstand brings you very close to the racing cars and also offers you some main straight sections and Elf Corner views.

If you want to see the phenomenal sight of an F1 car take on a corner at speed then look no further than Grandstand N. From seats here you’ll see the cars exit turn 8, then a short time later flick right into the sweeping turn 9

This is not an overtaking spot but turn 9 is a high speed, exciting corner and a crucial corner to get right before entering the long back straight.
